Donald Trump had, in his term as President, seven Attorney Generals; but five were Acting AGs (placeholders essentially) and only one of the Acting AGs was there for any substantial amount of time. Republicans Presidents, since I was a child, have had a pernicious habit of appointing political loyalists and friends to the Office of Attorney General. From John Mitchell (Nixon) to William French Smith and Edwin Meese (Reagan) to John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzalez (George W Bush), the Department of Justice has had a hard political tilt in Republican Administrations.
